Dem senator (Murphy - Idiot, Connecticut): Trump made 'assassination threat'
The Hill ^ | August 9, 2016 | Mark Hensch

Posted on 08/10/2016 5:37:22 AM PDT by Zakeet

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) says Donald Trump's controversial line about "Second Amendment people" qualifies as an assassination threat against Hillary Clinton.

[Snip]

Murphy was addressing a remark Trump made earlier Tuesday about what kind of Supreme Court justices Clinton would appoint as president.

"Hillary wants to abolish, essentially abolish, the Second Amendment," he said. "By the way, if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks.

"Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don’t know," Trump added.

Other Democrats joined Murphy in condemning Trump's remarks.

If we get uber-liberal judges who make the Bill of Rights irrelevant, a portion of the American people will fight back if gun ownership is outlawed. Donald Trump is correct in that such a scenario would indeed be a terrible thing.

He in no way threatened that witch.

Yeah, well, the media game can be applied to anybody - meaning the mischaracterization and so on as a tool of destruction is effective to the extent the public falls for it. No amount of STFU can stifle a determined opponent.

I mean, obviously you are against Trump (I'm playing the media game) because you think he is not fit to be president. So why don't you STFU? <- not real criticism, not a real suggestion, just showing how the tool works.

I take it to mean that 2nd amendments people will use their vote against Hillary , never would. I have considered he meant they would use their guns against her. But of course he would twist it to mean something that would hurt Trump!

Substitute “patriots” for “2nd amendment people” in his statement. He Spoke about who actually rules our nation (us) and what is the law of our land (COTUS).

So, will he shrink back, or go full on patriot?

That's not an assassination threat - but this is . . .

Dear Senator Dumbass, while you're investigating this, there is a list of 50+ "unexplained" murders you need to check out also.

In light of the fact that the Establishment politicians and their allies in the media and elsewhere have thrown Trump into political hit zone, using vicious character assassination and setting up the atmosphere for an actual assassination attempt - it’s high time they started thinking about the “second amendment people.”

I’m not sure what he meant, but I’m glad he said it. Let them keep wringing their hands and thinking.

As soon as Trump said those words, democrat operatives picked them apart, looking for a way to get him. They knew he hadn’t made a threat, but knew that the media would treat it as if he did. Now that’s the official interpretation.

Democrats are scum.

You poor dumb Yankees sure know how to pick-em! The smartest among us fled some time ago. I still visit. Many of my relatives talk about South Carolina.

Connecticut deserves crap it gets — No, it’s the major cities that invite invaders and companies that employ them. Freebies and earnings under the table. And the local media propagandists who pound the normal people.
The boondocks and the burbs (less so, lately) are pretty good. A few bad apples(cities) make the whole rotten.
